Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Opt for fresh or thawed chicken for the best results.
  • 1 packet gravy mix Any brand works well; just ensure it’s your favorite flavor.
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 medium onion, sliced Sweet onions add sweetness; red onions can add bite.
  • to taste salt Always taste before adding extra since the gravy mix can be salty.
  • to taste pepper
For Serving
  • mashed potatoes, rice, or biscuits Choose your favorite for a complete meal.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker in a single layer.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the gravy mix with water, stirring until completely dissolved.
  3. Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken, then add the sliced onion on top, spreading it evenly.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cooking
  1. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours until chicken is tender and falling apart.
  2. Once cooked, shred the chicken right in the gravy and stir to coat every piece.
Serving
  1. Serve the comforting chicken and gravy over your choice of mashed potatoes, rice, or warm biscuits.

Notes

Ensure chicken is thawed for even cooking. Low and slow cooking results in tender chicken. Can double the recipe for crowds. Leftovers can be frozen for up to three months.
